Is it? I personally & professionally prefer Debian over Ubuntu: by default it’s free-software–only, and I find that it’s somewhat more stable & predictable (which are important in a production server system). Of course, some people don’t care as much about software freedom as I do, and others may have had different experiences with respect to stability & predictability.
Ubuntu is nice on the client side, given the reality of proprietary drivers in which we live, but even there I prefer e.g. Mint if I’m not using pure Debian.
